What do you and if you have kids wear in the parks?

We are leaving on Sept. 20th and I am starting to get organized on packing. We tend to dress a smidge nicer than shorts and tee's at the parks. I am very type A and want my family to look nice but also be confortable for a busy hot day. I even have matching hats and bows for each outfit for the kids! I have a couple of custom Disney outtfits and cute dresses from for my DD2 and my DS 3 wears Polos and shorts, same for DH. I usually wear sundresses, I know that sounds odd, but they are casual and IMHO they are much cooler. I also look very sloppy in tee shirts and we take so many pictures I don't want to look sloppy for posterity:ROFLOL:.That does not mean we are in our Sunday best either.
So my question, what do you wear in the parks?
Also does anyone have any good places to find some cute boutique Disney clothes for kids?

I wear t-shirts, shorts and sunglasses.

I'm on vacation, I'm not there to impress anyone, so I don't shave and I wear what is comfortable to me!

And 3 weeks from today I will be doing just that!!!! :p

My children are a little older now, so we mostly wear Disney tops and jeans/shorts. When they were smaller, they had some custom Disney outfits and cute Disney outifts that I purchased beforehand.

Quite simply, our clothing reflects the weather. If its hot then its shorts with a vest top, or a T-shirt if its slightly cooler. Footwear is training shoes - comfy ones.

We usually wear matching custom made Disney t-shirts (from DisneyShopping. com) and either cargo shorts (love the pockets for carrying small water bottles and other odds and ends) or pants (winter months only). We also have matching "hidden Mickey" shirts that we made from fabric that is red with maroon "tri-circle Mickey logos" on it (people were asking where we bought them and someone asked if we would sell them:lol: ). We tend to go for comfort and a little bit of style.

P.S. We wear Disney Crocks with socks, so that's more comfort than style :lol: .

We usually do shorts and tee/polo shirt for guys and shorts/capris tanks/tees for girls. Clothes that are well made and fit well seem to look better in pictures no matter what they are. Tees don't have to look sloppy. My daughter likes the fitted tees, they're a bit more tailored looking.

Comfort is the most important thing. You're not going to get good pics if the kids are sweaty and miserable.

I say let the guys wear shorts and a t-shirt or polo with sandals or comfy tennis shoes. Let the kids wear what they want.

We might still be in the afternoon rain season, just depends on mother nature, and if so, t-shirts are a lot easier to dry than heavier polo shirts.

Have fun.

I'm a t-shirt and jeans girl! I alway try and get DH to wear cargo pants and shorts so I can get him to carry my keys. :ROFLOL: Turn about is fair play at WDW.

I try and wear my orange and blue Gator shirts a lot there. I've only worn a Disney shirt to WDW once! I wear tennis shoes - I've had sandal malfunctions and have learned my lesson with that.

OH and don't forget the shades and sunscreen!

We go for comfort wearing t shirts & shorts during the day. At night it will depend on what we are doing. We like business casual at night for dinner.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, shorts, shirt (tee or polo type) socks and my most comfortable shoes. All days are the same for my clothing. Wear what makes you the most comfortable, its your vacation!

I don't like for the backs of my bare thighs to touch the plastic seats that everyone has sweated on, so I don't wear shorts unless it is really really miserably hot. Am I wierd?

We do the same with our 4 girls! Also, people don't try to get in between you. They know you're all together.


I LOVE flip-flops (sorry), but I have to wear my good sneakers at WDW - too much walking!
